I don't know what day it is and I tried to put on a second t-shirt this morning over the top of the first. I think that I may be unravelling. May go back to bed.

Anyway...

Cautionary tale #1. I've been administering my late mother's estate, and found that she's been buying "Quarter Sovereigns" from "London Mint Office" - while valuing her estate I've found that the pile of little coins that she's paid £255 quid each for are actually worth ~£75 each for their Gold content... So, thanks Mother, you've poured away £180 per coin... Having done a little research, something my Mother should've done, I've found quite a few complaints regarding "London Mint Office" and their dealings. Don't touch with a barge pole!

Cautionary tale #2. I found a bill for a company based in Liverpool for a new battery for Mother's solar panel system. They charged her £5000 for the battery, that ordinarily would've cost her ~£2000 including fitting, if in fact she really needed one in the first place! This company too is scattered all over the internet with regards to their shady practices!!! My brother wants us to "visit" the MD of the company. I'm inclined to have someone else do that job for me...

The above cautionary tales have been posted as a warning to all of you with elderly independent relatives, maybe we shouldn't let them be so independent...

to all and "let's be careful out there"...

In both those cases, the simple rule is ALWAYS check prices and shop around...

Morning, all petrol station en route closed this morning, meaning a trip out lunchtime with the possibility of not being able to get back in the car park.

Breakfast innocent cherry juice, bacon roll with lashings of red sauce, cup of hot chocolate.

No mate, the golden rule is to ensure that your 76 year old mother is savvy enough to look after your inheritance!

Well my parents can't spend it as quickly as they were as the cruise industry has closed down..

Scourer’s quiet today. Maybe the goats got him!

Apologies. I find it ironic that when I post stuff I am accused of having mental health issues. When things are bad I post nothing or very little. I prefer to be left alone.

I still haven't done anything with the pineapple HWMBO left behind. How long do they last for?

If you can pull a leaf from the top, it is ready.

They can last weeks...

I have a new-found admiration for BP. Creating this amount of drivel is really hard work!

You just have to be really autistic and it is fun...
